This traps can be successfully used near nests and in all localities where it is impossible to prepare the vegetation for the set up of the mist nets.
The spring traps are best applied in places where you observe the birds you want to catch as they collect their foods. It is practical to rake up the surface soil and to camouflage the bottom part or whole trap at the place you want to set it.
